Battle of Kápolna

The Battle of Kápolna, fought in February 1849 during the Hungarian Revolution, was a significant clash between Hungarian forces seeking independence and the Austro-Piedmontese army allied with Russia. The Hungarians aimed to defend their homeland, but the larger and better-equipped imperial forces outnumbered them. The battle resulted in a victory for the imperial side, but it was costly and indecisive, prompting continued resistance. The engagement demonstrated the intense fighting during Hungary’s fight for independence, highlighting both the resilience of Hungarian fighters and the challenges they faced against a formidable coalition army.
